LINE MANAGER TRAINING

Promoted for the job,
trained for the people

Practical training that gives your line managers the confidence and skills to lead teams well, every day.

Equipping the people who lead your people

WHAT IT IS

Line manager training is training designed for people who directly supervise employees to help them manage their teams effectively on a day-to-day basis with things like performance, workload and wellbeing.

Many line managers are promoted because they’re good at their job, not necessarily because they’ve been trained to manage people. Without training, they can struggle with things like giving feedback or handling conflict within a team.

Why it matters

Good line manager training helps:

Upskill your line managers

Reduce staff turnover

Improve team performance

Create a healthier work environment

Ensure consistent, fair management practices

P2HR is an HR consultancy based in Bristol and the Southwest that supports small businesses when it comes to upskilling their line managers, whether that be day-to-day coaching through people-related matters or providing training sessions.

THE REALITY

Most line managers aren't trying to mess it up

In our experience, line managers do not wake up each day wondering what they can mess up today. The reality is, most of the time they just don't know how to manage certain situations but they also do not want to look like a failure to their own line manager, so they just 'do their best' without realising there could be consequences. Furthermore, people generally like to be liked, and line managers are no exception to this fact, so more often than not, they do not like to do the part of the role that requires them to potentially be disliked.

Training gives them the confidence to know what they can/can't and should/shouldn't say and do in these situations.

In addition, the training gives them the realisation that if they get it wrong, there could be costly consequences not only for the company but for themselves as well. As we said, they don't deliberately want to mess things up, but if they don't know any better, is it fair to hold them wholly accountable?

This is not a blame game, so let's focus on fixing the skills gap and getting your line managers trained today.
